The last time DC United played New York City FC, DCU put on a display of all its weaknesses while NYCFC showed off its greatest strengths. DCU had been dealing with defensive midfielder woes, a stagnant offense, and a backline in progress.
NYCFC, on the other hand, had electric wingers, a dominant midfield, and a top tier striker in David Villa. While DCU has started to slowly put things together offensively, NYCFC has continued to make a case as one of the best teams in MLS
Who to watch from DC United
DC United is still without Patrick Mullins, but last week Jose Ortiz proved himself in a big way with a debut goal in his first start.
